Water Soluble Oils – Beautiful highly pigmented artist quality oils!
These are genuine oil paints that are able to be mixed with water! No need to use solvents!
The Holbein Duo Aqua Oils come in the most stunning range of colours, making it a favourite choice for not only the professional artists quality but also the vibrancy of the colours.
Because of their water-solubility, the Holbein Duo Aqua oils offer the opportunity for mixed media results, which would normally be unavailable using traditional oils. You can blend these oils with watercolours, gouache or acrylics (which will make it dry slightly faster) as well as with metallic or pearl colours to achieve effects that were not before possible with regular oils.
Use Duo Linseed Oil to increase gloss and, aid brushability, and enhance transparency while slowing the drying time of Duo Aqua Oil Colours.
